Benefits of technology

[0006]In one aspect, this disclosure teaches an easy-to-use lancet device that produces a sufficient amount of blood without causing undue pain so that patients are more likely to monitor biological properties for disease management. A lancet device can include a base that includes a support surface, a lancet and a cover. The cover can include a peripheral edge along which the cover is connected to the base, a cover region, a lancet

Problems solved by technology

A lancet that is inserted deeper than levels recommended for a specific user can cause a high volume of blood flow and significant pain.
By contrast, a lanc

Abstract

The application discloses a lancet device (100) that includes a base (102) that supports a lancet (104) and a cover (106). The cover can move controllably from an un-depressed position to a depressed position when a predetermined force is applied. The cover can provide access to the lancet in the depressed position.

Description

RELATED APPLICATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Ser. No. 13 / 946,838 filed Jul. 19, 2013, and provisional application U.S. Ser. No. 61 / 817,172 filed Apr. 29, 2013, the disclosures of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety.TECHNICAL FIELD[0002]This disclosure relates to technology for collecting biological samples to measure a biological property.BACKGROUND[0003]Monitoring blood glucose several times per day is a recommended way for controlling blood glucose levels in patients managing diabetes. Good blood glucose control minimizes loss of life, reduces limb amputations, and enhances quality of life for hundreds of millions of people. It is often recommended by physicians that patients managing diabetes monitor blood glucose levels typically four times a day to mitigate the risks of poor blood glucose control.[0004]Devices for managing blood glucose typically include a lancing tool. In operation, the tool is opened, and a disposable lance...
